Although this was a little pricier than I would have liked, the replacement beaker fits, and I'm glad I could order one after breaking the original.
The new one is actually thicker glass. I've replaced this twice now. Seems more durable.Doesn't fit in the plastic holder as tight as the old one.Although it seems more durable, it is glass and I fully expect it will break again.
Of course, then they couldn't keep selling replacements. Wanting French Press coffee this creates something of a deal with the devil. OK, you sneeze and they break. Only reason I bought another was because they keep breaking. I suggest buying a press AND a replacement right away.Now, if Bodum wanted to do something NICE, they could create a plexiglass beaker that fits the rest of the parts.
To be honest, I would have ordered a different brand if they had at least an eight or ten cup capacity. So it happened, and I have ordered a new one. How about using pyrex like glass. We love our pressed coffee, and the Bodum pot works great. The problem is worrying every single time I clean it, that it will break. All the other pots were too small.
I dropped the old one down the stairs. What can you say - if you need a replacement bodum glass, then there is nothing quite like a replacement bodum glass. THe new one is the same size as the original one was from ten or twelve years ago, so the plunger fits very nicely, etc.
